I hoped your it would save me (and I'm sure it will !)... but atm, I don't see your button in the interface.
Btw, I restarted VLC. I also checked that the extension is shown as "active" in the menu.
Using version 2.1 (Terry Prachett, 2015-04)
Also, could you bind some keyboard shortcut to the function ? e.g ctrl-shift-R, which IIRC, is the winamp shortcut for this function. MPC or any other would probably be a good choice too, anything to avoid having to click.

it's well hidden, in view -> shuffle playlist
Update or syntax for bindong a shortcut for a plug-in action would still be welcome.
I tried to edit the LUA file, but it would be easier if I knew LUA :). Atm, I only managed to break it.

VLC extensions are completely underdeveloped, definitely underdocumented and in some ways even outright broken.
